*NEW* – Korea Chemical Control Regulations

This half-day online course is designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive view of the chemical regulations in Korea. The new chemical regulation, the Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals (K-REACH), and its impacts on current chemicals regulations will be reviewed. Other related regulations such as the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) requirements will also be covered during the course. Korea implemented GHS and has been legally enforcing GHS regulations since July 2010 for single substances and July 2013 for mixtures of two or more substances.

Students will learn about detailed registration requirements of current and new chemical regulations and how K-REACH will affect them in their chemical registrations for chemical substances and products containing chemicals.

ChemADVISOR brings the 2 day GHS Essentials (Classification, SDS and Labelling) course to Houston, TX. Join us on February 5-6, 2014, to catch up on the Globally Harmonized System. Students attending this course will receive a copy of the fifth revised edition of the “Purple Book”.

The following aspects of GHS will be covered:

Development history

Harmonized classification criteria

Requirements for the harmonized documents of hazard communication i.e., labeling and SDSs

ChemADVISOR adds a new webinar to the calendar on March 11, 2014.

Come to one of the upcoming courses to brush up on your knowledge of the EU REACH Regulation.

The skills developed in this course will allow participants to better understand and/or participate in the interpretation of ecotoxicological data for hazard determination, assessments and communication under the GHS and REACH/CLP regulations. Upon completion of the course, attendees should be able to successfully complete Ecotoxicity Assessments for GHS and REACH/CLP.
